Special Issue on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization

OBJECTIVES:

In this special issue we invite contributions in both theoretical development and applications of hierarchical optimization in areas of engineering and applied science. We expect this special issue to be a collection of high quality research contributions and advances in application of evolutionary computation and methods to combinatorial optimization problems.

TOPICS:

Topics include but are not limited to:

? Applications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems

? Novel application domains for metaheuristic optimisation methods

? Variation operators for stochastic search methods

? Constraint-handling techniques

? Hybrid methods and hybridization techniques

? Parallelization

? Comparisons between different (also exact) techniques

? Automated tuning of metaheuristics using machine learning, evolutionary and other approaches

? Evolutionary multi-objective and dynamic optimization

? Computational complexity

? Constraint satisfaction

? Crew scheduling

? Cutting and packing

? Exact and approximation algorithms

? Frequency assignment

? Graphs

? Heuristic and Meta-heuristic methods

? Integer programming

? Network design

? Production and logistics scheduling

? Timetabling

? Vehicle routing and scheduling
